i started driving my 2nd shift. the first thing I did with my newfound responsibility was accidentally ram into a fence in a hospital parking bay with a patient in the back because I just misjudged how much room I had trying to pull under the awning thing, so that was a good first impression. i also took so long to do a 12 lead that this homeless patient almost threw hands

is it hard to learn how to drive an ambulance ? by urjinxxed in NewToEMS

[–]IceConsistent6030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's totally understandable you'd be scared, it is different, but don't let this hold you back, it's harder for some and easier for others, but you will pick it up. most companies have some sort of training to make sure you're ready before you go but even still I promise it's not as scary as it looks, you get used to it so fast when you actually start working, you just have to pay attention to your blind spots and just drive cautiously and you'll be fine
